Resetting tpm
Hi Guys,
I swapped my winter tires yesterday, today I get the tpm warning. No biggie, fill up air up to par, and do the reset. It won't go away, keep getting the tpm malfunction and such. I've driven 10+ miles on the highway and still can't do a reset. Any tips?

The winter wheels do have sensors correct? All you really need to do is reset and drive. Have you confirmed that the pressures are actually correct?

Are you getting a tire pressure warning from the TPMS, or a malfunction warning? I would think there is a difference between broken electronics and a flat tire.

Are they new for the car, or did they work last year on some other car? If it just sits on the resetting..... screen and never gets there, you have an issue with the sensors. Odds are they are not compatible with the 2014 flavor of your particular car, and the car doesn't see anything...

im going to assume they are not compatible with this car. First time putting them on this car. these came off my 04 m3. I put all of them to around 33 psi. didnt get a chance to see what the door says. ill look tomorrow.

That's likely the problem. When you reset, the sensors will assume that you have the right pressure, and will report based on that.. TireRack can tell you what flavor of sensor you need... they are different over time and models. Plus, the life of the sensor batteries is approx. 5-6 years....

If you get the correct sensors, you will not have to do anything. Initially, there might be a message about driving for some distance for it to calibrate (I forgot the exact wording), but after that, everything should work properly. I have two sets of wheels that I swap back and forth and get this initial message half the time. The other half, I get no message at all.
